I understand what you are trying to say, but have you realized the new reality we are living in?

The industry I work in, materials are absolutely short in supply. We wait many months for simple elements, that were delivered before in days, and are now missing all our timelines to our client.

Are we doing that on purpose? No. Can we control it? No. Are we another company now? No. Are the people in the company now any less capable or clever? No.

It is just what it is with the current market/world and I try to benefit off it, by increasing my share count as I have more time to do so.
